In a football game a kicker attempts a field goal. The ball remains in contact with the kicker's foot for 0.0854 s, during which time it experiences an acceleration of 217 m/s2. The ball is launched at an angle of 58.3° above the ground. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the launch velocity.

Answer 1

Vo=a*t = 217 * 0.0854 = 18.53 m/s[58.3o]
a. Xo = 18.53*Cos58.3.

b. Yo = 18.53*sin58.3
